 | : Hana Yori Dango - Admittedly, I watched the drama and tend to skew towards that version, but I've read a fair chunk of the manga and genuinely like it, so I'll read manga fic. Most of the Hanadan fic I'll rec will actually be mangaverse, but you could probably be a fan of the drama and still read it just fine, I think. I OTP the hell out of Tsukasa/Tsukushi and 90% of the fic I read will be about them, either apart or together. Occasionally, I'll read Soujirou/Yuuki or Soujirou/Akira and I still pine for one good pre-series Rui/Tsukasa, but for the most part... yeah, Doumyouji/Makino Forever. ♥ |
 | : Nobuta wo Produce - Nobuta was one of those series that got me back into jdrama and the JE/jpop scene again. It was a genuinely good drama and there's a reason that it's one of those that baits a lot of fans who've never watched jdrama before into the whole genre. While there's not a ton of fanfic for the series, there are a handful of really, truly excellent stories to be found. I lean towards Akira/Shuuji fic, so I'll seek that out a lot more, but I will also happily read gen and this section is going to be a mix of the two. |
 | : Nodame Cantabile - Like Hanadan, most of the fic I will be able to find will be manga (or anime) based and I like both versions well enough and find them similar enough to be satisfying. I still include them in the jdrama section, though, because that's the way I lean myself and figure there may be other people like me out there. I doubt I would branch out much beyond Chiaki/Nodame (who are so very OTP for me), but if authors wanted to write some Mine/Kiyora, I would also be all over that. |
 | : Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon - There's not a ton of PGSM-based fic, but I continue to hope that maybe someday there will be. For now, there are just a small handful of little fics that I really enjoyed and are very much worth reading. I lean towards Mamoru/Usagi (omg, they made me fall in love with the UsaMamo pairing all over again ♥) and the Dark Kings, I would love to see an author's take on the possibility of Kunzite/Zoisite in this universe. I'm pretty open to everything, it all depends on what fandom decides to produce. |
 | : TricK - Oh, man, this series took me a few episodes to get into, it's kind of very cheesy, but the two main leads have so much chemistry that it is ridiculous. You just want to lock them in a room until they start making out, that's how much I loved the way they interacted and how incredibly hot their bitching at each other was. There's not a huge fandom for this series, but what's here is really good and delights me with how they keep the bitching between them even after they get together and asdflkjasdlkj I need more, okay? |
 | : Yamada Tarou Monogatari - Not too much longer after I got into Arashi, Sho and Nino did the Yamada Tarou Monogatari drama together and it was a pretty big hit and their characters were kind of seriously gay for each other. While fandom didn't write much (nor did they seem to get with the Sho/Nino program, either), I still live in hope that there will be a little more Mimura/Tarou fic out there someday. Most of these fics (if not all) will be based on the jdrama, rather than the manga series, since most people were watching for the actors instead of the story. (And, man, were they delightfully gay about it. ♥) |
